How much money do you need to buy happiness?

don't know if it's (((they))), and i can't provide a source, but i've read it a few times

>durr im depressed so everybody else is
>meanwhile, some people literally dont have enough money to eat..

>le epic /pol/ meme

Dopabean sells $30 for 60 pills.

that's the whole point of the thread retard money doesn't make you happy some people are just miserable pieces of shit

Let epic vacuous moral high ground

>go through school being poor
>finally graduate with cs degree
>get job 65k a year programming
>so fucking happy
>quickly my anxiety overcomes me
>panic attacks all the time, not the best programmer
>if they fire me I'm fucked
>no way out except crypto

If I just had a mil in my bank account I could be comfortable going into work and not worrying about what others thought of me. I think they suspect I'm a burnt out drug head or something. I mean I cleaned myself up and I know I program okay. But I panic anyway.

The ride never ends

Buy flappy coin guys its the easiest way to make money!

It kind of makes you wonder how deeply we've all been mind fucked by the system. I think the great recession might have damaged me deeply. I'm not even rich, still poor, but it creeps me out how much energy I've been putting into dreaming of being rich, but then to see other people get rich and not feeling like it's enough. Seriously, what the fuck is happening? Has it always been this way? Why can't any good opportunities post-internet be slow moving, not completely manic, and bombarded by the most ridiculous clowns you could ever meet (and also sell a product that we can hold in our hands).

But it's more than that, I'm starting to see history that is not like the history I remember. Has anyone else been through that? Have you seen animals that look like something out of a fantasy novel that are so absolutely strange that you KNOW you would have heard about them as a child but never did, and now suddenly exist. And now what the fuck is this? Is everyone going to get a lambo now? Are we becoming new nations with new currencies? t.shcizoid

I've seen this too

For me, $2 million. $500k for a house, and $1.5m to generate enough interest to do whatever the fuck I want

All of it

2-3mil.

Enough to not have to be a wage cuck and generate enough interest to have a nice house raise kids have a wife and have hobbies.

This is the right answer.

At 4% safe withdrawal from an index fund, I'd call that about $1.5MM, which give $60K/yr and covers rent/mortgage, food, utilities, car, health insurance, and a little leftover slush money.

$1.5MM doesn't buy happiness, but it would enable happiness, and enable it in perpetuity.

Well stated user.

in most of the cases you need some relations with friends, family, some intimate relations with a girl and some kind of job or work that you enjoy.

Imposter syndrome. Try to channel that energy into learning something new

We are just better at sharing information globally these days.

In most situations, money will never make you happy. I have enough money to do whatever I want, but I spend most of my time with friends and family; not spending a dime. You won't enjoy your riches until you have learned to be happy without them. Money just takes the edge off in life.

holy fuck thats exactly what it is user

$1M

I had a similar experience at my first career job. It goes away with more experience, which slowly makes you more confident

How the fuck would we know most of Veeky Forums are neets

1 milli

I require 1.0 M USD at the very least.

theres no such number

> I have enough money to do whatever I want
This is actually very important. Without "enough money" it's fucking impossible for me to enjoy life and familyandstaff. It's the very ground for happiness. And then you can even don't give a fuck about money. But you should at least have it.

The answer is we live in a simulation. This will go down in the history books as a time humans couldn't react quick enough. Information overload.... Yet we somehow overcome our challenges..

If this blockchain nonsense somehow reaches a 15 trillion market cap I'll be fucking mind blown.

>Animals not like animals you remember

go fuck yourself

You're asking the wrong question user. Happiness is not the most important thing. Money isn't either. Power is.

Assuming bullshit like Blockstream and Ripple don't destroy everything we've done here. Governments will look very different in the coming century with much more freedom.

Wtf are you talking about lmao

a buddy of mine made it to ~10mil and he is still suicidal. There's no escape, friendos

Legit question man. Want to do something good that could possibly make you feel something inside other than anger?

How about you teach me how to trade and in return you get the satisfaction of knowing you made humanity a little bit better and gained a friend.

Or you could just tell me to fuck off. I'd prefer the former.

Oh and this is coming from someone who had their own house, lived in the same town as all of his family and friends. Family business went under, family all moved away, I moved to a new city and am making 25k more a year than I did back home in a job that I hate.

I'm not happy and wish I could turn back time. I want to make enough money that I don't have to hold down a day job and could drive to visit family and friends.

That's what would make me happy.

happiness is not money. happiness is the act of making money

Enough to live off the principle without having to touch it with dividends of 50-100K or so. You get the security of the principle for anything catastrophic while being able to pay in to offset inflation on top of having a comfy amount of living money without letting it go to your head.

I.E. how actually high-class people live rather than tasteless arriviste.

depends on what makes you happy.

id be pretty content with just coke and hookers. which will be around 900 per session.

Pretty much this. Add some wheels since time and mobility are valuable. And enough to cook / eat well, and develop tastes and hobbies.

I went to a top tier law school just as the economy was crashing . Graduated with $162k in debt and couldn't land a decent law job. Ended up doing public tax accounting since I am good with numbers and tax law clicked.

Worked at two of the Big 4 CPA firms, and worked on individual tax returns for some of the wealthiest and influential people in the US. High profile, public figures. How did this make me feel? I hated the job (even though accounting grads would kill to take my place) since I wasn't practicing pure law. During busy season I would literally be glued to my cubical 80 hours a week.

Busted my ass doing law work on the side, using up vacation days when I needed to meet with my own clients. After 2 years, I paid off all of my loans....that was the true feeling of freedom.

However, I gave so little shit about working in CPA firms that I got canned. But you know what...idgaf. I can now focus on my own thing. And working on my own I make half the money that I used to....but i'm 100x happier.

Money isn't happiness. Finding something you are passionate about that you can devote your time and energy too will lead to happiness. A lot of times that requires getting "uncomfortable" before you can be "comfortable".

Good luck

Enough to have two pornstars lock your dick every morning as an alarm clock.

Stop living life with so little self respect that you're okay begging like a pathetic dog and maybe you'll have a shot at being happy

i need enough to retire my mom :(
